For floating-point types, something like stride(from: T, to: T, steps: Int) seems safer and more workable to me (this is just my immediate reaction, I haven’t thought this through in detail, and am likely to change my mind if someone makes a good case).


While I do not object to n-steps, allowing a step difference is equally important in my opinion.
"I want to sample every n deciRuncibles" versus "I want to sample 8 times between 1 deciRuncible 
and 10 deciRuncibles"

I disagree that the former is less useful than the latter.
